Answer:

y=-10x+900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of minutes

y ----> the balloon's height in feet

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

y=mx+b

where

m is the slope

b is the y-coordinate of the y-intercept

In this problem we have that

The slope is equal to

m=-10\ \frac{ft}{min} ----> is negative because is a decreasing function

b=900\ ft

Remember that the y-intercept is the value of y when the value of x is equal to zero

In this context the y-intercept is the height of the balloon when the time is equal to zero (initial height)

substitute

y=-10x+900
